The Maryland Stingers are looking for a new head coach, beginning in the Spring 2009 season.

They are a D1 team that is currently rebuilding - with many young and talented players with the drive to play at the highest level of rugby. The Stingers have a proud history of playing elite 8 rugby, but have not been in the Elite 8 since around 1998. They would like to get back to that level of competition and need a dedicated, experienced coach to lead us there.

If you are interested, or know of someone who might be, please email the Stingers President (Lenora.Stiles@gmail.com) for more information and an application.

PAC needs guys to come out and work the remaining Redskins games. Old boys, alumni, friends and relatives are encouraged to attend.
